I just woke up, and I haven't eaten breakfast, yet here I am...

Supernatural 2.12 - Nightshifter

1. FBI. Gosh, they look so good in black suits.
2. I love how they did the badge shove in complete unison. Aw.
3. Aw. Ronald. Reminds me a lot of Hurley. The roundness, hair, the enthusiasm, the flailing. "Not just a robot, more like a...a mandroid!"
4. Sam is great as a FBI agent. Yeah, it is "creepy how good of a fed you is."
5. Gosh, security people this time. They really are good at role-playing. You think John sent them for acting classes? Heh.
6. "I like him. He says 'okie-dokie.'"
7. "Dean, we're supposed to be looking for eyes." "I'm getting there."
8. "Just don't shoot anybody, especially us."
9. "I ain't talking to you! I don't like you!" Hahaha. And I thought everybody loves Sam.
10. Hahahaha. Sherri is totally fangirling Dean!
11. The brothers seem to be quite the experts at bank-robbing.
12. Oh crap. Poor Ron. *sighs*
13. Yes, Dean, you're so screwed.
14. That ringtone again! Love it!
15. Meet Special Agent Alexander Mahone Victor Henriksen.
16. "Bonnie to your Clyde." Sammy = Bonnie. Heehee.
17. "You got no right talking about my Dad like that. He was a hero."
18. "You don't know these Winchesters. They're dangerous, smart, and expertly trained." Oh yeah. Oh hell yeah.
19. Shapeshifters faint?
20. Ooh. Smart. Very smart, but not as smart as Sammy.
21. Sam taking down 2 armed SWAT guys. Whoa. Awesome.
22. Ew. Skin.
23. Ha! I called that. I knew it!
24. "We're so screwed."


Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. Low on the scare factor, awesome on every other factor. But...

Sammy. What is wrong with you? Through the series, he was always established as the people's favorite, with his puppy dog eyes and everything, as directly stated by Dean in Scarecrow. But this time, he got on the bad side of Ronald. Dean is definitely not alone in thinking Sam was mean to Ronald. He used to be very concerned with people's emotional well-being, and was always stopping Dean from saying the wrong insensitive things. Now he's the one delivering the insensitive lines. Come on, you tell a guy who had been obsessing with something that it isn't true and you expect the guy to just take it as it is? And the cold hard way Sam talked to him didn't help. No, I'm not saying Sam pushed him and caused his death. He ultimately meant well. "Better to stay in the dark, and stay alive." There was just a slight shift of prospective. Instead of caring more about feelings, Sam now just wants to save lives, just the physical being, keep them out of harm's way.  What does this mean? I don't know. I just don't like the idea of Sam detaching himself from emotions like that. Definitely doesn't bode well.

And John. Last week, he was an ass. Now he's a hero. Nothing wrong with that. Dean has always worshipped his father. He was just angry and frustrated at the burden that was thrown at him from out of nowhere. Last week, a lot of people went "Yeah! Finally he acknowledged that John was a lousy father!". Nah, I don't think Dean honestly meant that 'ass' part, as we saw in this episode where John was deemed a 'hero'.  I don't think John was a bad father, especially now that we know about the secret. While I don't quite see him as a hero as Dean does, John was definitely trying his best to protect his family. Ultimately, everything he had ever done was for his family. I even have an essay on this whole issue, but I don't have the guts to post it yet. Well. Point is, don't bash John, okay?

And yes, they are so screwed. I would love to see how the agent thing plays out. Ha! Bad Winchester boys, you guys are in deep shit.

Okay, yeah, nothing more to say about this episode. Just plain awesomeness.

And damnit, the torrent for next week's episode better be up faster than this week. And I need to go eat something. But before that, the boys and their disguises...

Oh, another thing. I skipped all your review posts and now it's so far back on my flist, so if you would like me to read your squeeing and stuff, please link me. ♥

Music from the episode:
Styx - Renegade (Awesome, awesome song)

Comments

[somersaulter.livejournal.com]

YES.

[bluebear-74.livejournal.com]

I'm so pleased with this episodes, I starting to loose interest. I loved the use of the song at the end, perfect. Oh and I loved them being confused when Sherri totally fainted.

[somersaulter.livejournal.com]

It was such a good episode! Funny, cool, sad, everything. And yeah, great song. I can't stop listening to it now. =)

[santacarlagypsy.livejournal.com]

Livejournal just ate my comment! Grr. Let me try this again...

The disguises! I was all excited about the trench coats after seeing the director's cuts, but it was the S.W.A.T. uniforms that really did me in. : )

The brothers seem to be quite the experts at bank-robbing. ~ Yes, yes they do. Actually, just today I was thinking about the fact that this is one of the reasons both of the boys are so damn hot to me. They are both almost built to go much darker than they ever allow themselves to go. And then I was attacked by a massive plot bunny that is going to drive me insane until I decide to write it.

Here's my review if you want to read it:
10 favorite things about the episode, instead of the usual 5

[somersaulter.livejournal.com]

Eek! All the uniforms rock! But yes, the SWAT ones just pwn.

Hmmm. You're right, they are truly capable of these kinda things, skill-wise. That sounds like a good plot bunny, better do something about it! =)

[22by7.livejournal.com]

okay, your entire second paragraph of actual review? deserves a medal. i thought the exact same thing but couldn't put it down half as beautifully.

Instead of caring more about feelings, Sam now just wants to save lives, just the physical being, keep them out of harm's way. What does this mean? i sort of immediately connected it to his desperation in "playthings", the whole 'if i don't save people i can't save myself' thing. but when he thinks of it like that, it turns into a calculating, dehumanizing, probably ultimately worthless 'job'. it breaks my heart to imagine Sam going down this road, but i'm sure it'd make for fabulous tv. hee.

about John - there's no question about that. Dean thinks of his father as a person, more than a sum or balance of his good points and bad points. Dean calls his dad an ass, but places it in its proper context - 'no one lays that kind of crap on their kids', meaning not 'no one should be such an utter failure at raising children' but 'no one ought to tell their older son that if he can't save their younger son he'll have to kill him'. i see the distinction, at least.

[somersaulter.livejournal.com]

Whoa. Thanks, but I really like your description too.

It turns into a calculating, dehumanizing, probably ultimately worthless 'job'. *sighs* It's utterly heartbreaking. I suppose this itself is one form of evil. =/

That comment about John, so true. Thank you.

[alwaysavingme.livejournal.com]

And staying in the dark went so well.lol Ronald still did something.

And got himself killed. :/ Yeah Sam was not totally himself.:/

[somersaulter.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's sad for poor Ron, getting himself killed in the process. *sighs*

[alwaysavingme.livejournal.com]

:( Yeah. I think I've seen the actor somewhere before.

[chaegyeong.livejournal.com]

Totally agree with your little mini essay.

Likes Ronald, in his sweet pathetic obssessive kind of way.

As usually, SPN pwns all.

[somersaulter.livejournal.com]

Bah. I hate you. *off to design your stupid LJ layout which is gonna take me at least one whole day*

[chaegyeong.livejournal.com]

I rock.

[seewhoiam.livejournal.com]

Taking the song, thank you :P
And yeah AWESOME episode.
And what´s with that mean FBI agen??? I wanted to slap him so baaaad.
The last scene, brilliant.

"We´re so screwed"
"Seems like Mister Oki Doki is... oki doki" lol

[somersaulter.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! It's such a great song, and in such a wonderful last scene.

Argh. I don't like that agent too. He acts like he knows the Winchesters so well. Bah.

[lalita82.livejournal.com]

This episode was made of awesome!!

My mom watch it with me and she only seen like one episode before. She really like it! She also knew the song in the end but couldn't remebmer what group sang it.:)

[somersaulter.livejournal.com]

Whoa. You got your mom to watch it with you? That's so cool. I could never get my mom to do that. She hates horror stuff. =/

[lalita82.livejournal.com]

well, she really didn't have a choice. I just took over her tv and she just watch it. lol. She doesn't really mind the horror stuff.

[beautifulovexo.livejournal.com]

This was my very first SPN epsiode and let me tell ya, it's one of my new favorite shows!

if only I could fnd season one....

[beautifulovexo.livejournal.com]

[somersaulter.livejournal.com]

For caps, try spn_caps. I download most of my caps from marishna.

And may I say how happy I am that you like the show! Welcome to the fandom! =)

[beautifulovexo.livejournal.com]

thank you thank you =D

i think jensen is who got me..and the preview for the eppie.

[somersaulter.livejournal.com]

Haha. Cool. Did you get my comment for where to download season 1? I screened it 'cos this post is unlocked.

[colorito.livejournal.com]

Awesome, awesome episode! I loved all the Dean parts. Didn't really like Sammy though. I want him to be the sweet & caring guy, not the harsh one. :(

And thanks for the song! It fits the ending perfectly.

[somersaulter.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Sam wasn't himself. Makes me sad. =( But Dean was perfect! As always.

You're welcome! Enjoy! I have it on replay now. Heh.

[beachdrunk.livejournal.com]

gosh they are so hot. and definitely checking out that song if you say its awesome.

[somersaulter.livejournal.com]

Yes they are, and I love that song. Have it on replay now. =)

[beachdrunk.livejournal.com]

i listened to it, that is a good song. loves it.

[shellizzle.livejournal.com]

hey! so, since you made me that amazing artwork for my birthday I've been meaning to ask you if you could make me a friends-only banner? ;) oh yes. haha! I'd love my friends-only banner to deal with prison break (michael/sara, lincoln/michael or haywire) or House (cameron/chase, cameron/house, house being an asshole). I love Veronica Mars and One Tree Hill too, but I already have veronica mars as my header & i'm still using your lovely bday artwork on my user info! :)

if you can't do it, then that's cool. :)

[somersaulter.livejournal.com]

Yeah sure. Specific size or pictures or details? The more things you give me the more I can make sure the end product will be something you like. =)

[shellizzle.livejournal.com]

really, as I'm looking over your graphics on your journal I love everything, so I doubt very seriously you can go wrong. I don't have anything particular graphics in mind. I love the fonts you use in your fo banner & the fonts you're using in your header. Ha. :)

Um... yeah. Just pretend like you're making it for you & I'm pretty sure that'll ensure I'll love it! :)

[somersaulter.livejournal.com]

Alright. I'll see what I can come up with. It might take a while though, I still have a few more requests to get to.

[somersaulter.livejournal.com]

Hey, I am so so so sorry this took so long.

(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i130/somersaulter/Graphics/foshelly.png)

Let me know if you want it re-sized or altered in any way.

[shellizzle.livejournal.com]

:)) that is beyond perfect! Thank you so much!

[e0wyn.livejournal.com]

Awsome review, like usual! Thanks for the music too.

And you got me really interested at the mention of an essay on John, now I'm dying to read it! I really like the guy, I don't think he is a hero too but he did try the best he could to raise his children. Of course he made mistakes but he's human and most certainly he meant only well for Sam&Dean.
Please please please post it ♥

[somersaulter.livejournal.com]

Aw. Thanks. As for the essay, I think it still need some revisions before it can come out in public. Maybe I'll wait till the next hiatus in March, see if the show gives out any more John references. =P

[heaven-eyes.livejournal.com]

Great review as always! I like reading yours :)

I really like what you said about Sam. Instead of caring more about feelings, Sam now just wants to save lives, just the physical being, keep them out of harm's way. I think that captures what was happening in the episode and it's so sad 'cos Sam used to care so much about the people. Oh btw I loved that little scene when Dean looks sad that Ronald died and he starts talking to him! Ugh this episode depressed me actually. I mean it was awesome but it just showed again what awful lives they have. I guess they do still have each other but it's not that great when Dean possibly has to kill Sam.

Oh youre writing an essay? Sounds interesting.

[somersaulter.livejournal.com]

Aw. Thanks. =)

Yeah, it was quite depressing for the boys, especially the last scene with them sitting in the car and realizing that reality has caught up with them. And there's also poor Ron. *sighs*
